education, what would be the impact of sequestration? guest: most education spending is paid for by state and local governments. but the part that is paid for by the federal government would be cut very hard. so there would be the need, because of less grants and aid from the federal government to the states, there would be less money for teachers and especially schools serving less advantaged students. there would be less money for special education, for kids with handicaps or disabilities, there would be less money for a variety of things of that sort. host: jim, i know that you think accounts are too deep, but where can you cut when it comes to education -- cuts are too dep? guest: i said that they are indiscriminate prepares a lot of room to cut the budget. there's been relatively modest cuts already, but that was off a very high base. it's been a very large run-up in this portion of the budget over the last 12 years. between 2000 and 2003 the real increase in spending and domestic appropriations has gone up 40%, so there's been a st

much like we want universal access to education. we've got to work hard every day to make certain that it's good quality and that it's affordable. i think it is fair for us to compare ourselves to other nations. we are talking primarily about the western industrialized nations where their delivery systems are much less expensive to deliver care and whereby the measures of things like infant mortality, obesity, other factors, they have better outcomes than we do. whatever it is you are delivering as a service, education or health care, we should always try to examine are we doing it the right way and can we do it better. even if we say we don't want universal health care, if somebody gets sick, most of the time they end up in the hospital and they will get care. the cost of that care has simply shifted onto everyone else who is paying insurance. if you have health care at work, $1,100 of your premium goes to paying for uncompensated care, for people that short at the emergency room without coverage. host: on twitter -- guest: she's r
